Beauty, Brains, and A Little Brawn

Ocean Sunset Eye Tutorial

I want to start off by saying that I’m very proud to end this week’s yellow theme with this look.

I gathered color inspiration from this look on Pinterest via an Instagram post by Alexie May, who goes by @beats.by.lex on Instagram. While the concepts aren’t the same, I feel that both her look and mine are pretty amazing.

I originally did not have any gold leaf on the inner corner, but felt the look was really missing something until I added it on. The gold leaf really pulled all of this together. I know this is more of a gold palette than yellow, but I think it’s close enough. I didn’t use a particular palette for this look, so feel free to use any shadows you like while I guide you through how to recreate this!

Let’s Get Started:

The eyelids:

Prime the eyelids with a concealer or primer that you prefer.

Warm up the crease with a peach-toned shadow. Blend this highest toward the eyebrow to build the rainbow effect up.

Place an orange shadow just under the peach transition shade to help build intensity.

Carve out the lid in a winged shape with concealer.

Pack a gold or yellow shade onto the concealer while it is still tacky, following the winged shape.

Carefully create a line mimicking the winged shape with a white eyeliner. If you mess up, pack gold shadow on any smudged lines.

Lower Lashline:

Blend a dark turquoise shadow across the entire lower lashline.

Other:

Line the waterline with a turquoise eyeliner.

Apply some gold leaf to the inner corner using lash or glitter glue. You can also just highlight the inner corner as you would normally if you don’t own gold leaf/don’t want to use it.

Curl and coat the lashes with mascara. Apply falsies if you wish.
